This expository essay discusses a significant topic: how to hazard a guesstimate so as to solve a Fermi problem. A Fermi problem is named after Nobel Prize-winning scientist Enrico Fermi, who used Fermi problems to teach his students how to think creatively for themselves and how to obtain approximately correct answers. A Fermi problem does not contain all the information you need to solve it precisely. It presents a specific question, with or without a context, but it does not require the exact answer; it merely calls for the most approximate answer.

Stan Mason (Paragraph 15) Born in 1921 in Trenton, New Jersey, Mason created his first invention at the age of 7: a clothespin fishing lure that he sold to his friends.

In the last 50 years, his over 100 inventions and 55 patents include the squeezable ketchup bottle, granola bars, heated pizza boxes, heatproof plastic microwave cookware, stringless "Band-Aid" packaging, dental floss dispensers, and "instant" splints and casts for broken limbs.
